Kenny Wayne Shepherd to perform Aug. 26 in Concert Hall

Still barely in his 30s, the Louisiana-born axeman and songsmith has been selling millions of albums, throwing singles into the Top 10, shining a light on the rich blues of the past, and forging ahead with his own modern twist on a sound he has embodied since his teens.

He met Stevie Ray Vaughan at age 7, and shared the stage with New Orleans legend Bryan Lee at 13.

As an adult, he continues to create genre-defining blues-infused rock ’n roll.

Tickets will be $37.50 in advance; $40 day-of-show. Tickets for this standing room only show will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday in the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall and St. Augustine Amphitheatre box offices, findmytix.com, ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets or by phone at 800-745-3000.
